Bridge Street Bridge - Project Information

The Bridge Street Bridge ("Bridge") is a valued historic feature in the City of Arroyo Grande and serves as a primary thoroughfare and landmark in the City's Village area. During its service life of over 100 year, the Bridge has developed age-related deficiencies that will cause closure if not addressed. ( See Existing Conditions )

The project need is to provide a rehabilitated bridge that will increase the load carrying capacity and also improve public safety. If the bridge is not rehabilitated, the condition will continue to deteriorate and eventually bridge closure will be required.

The City has adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the rehabilitation of the Bridge, and is now in the process of preparing final construction documents.
